Hard one to call, this one. Salford should beat Bradford comfortably given the ability they have in their team but I haven't watched a more uninspiring team in ages. Evalds is their sole threat I think. He certainly looks the liveliest, although I think they have Greg Johnson back for this one as well which will help them.

Well last time out we were undone early on by Hock and then by Chase. That's where the threat is. When Chase has the ball the defensive line needs to be straight without people jumping out to try and nail him. With Hock it's about tackle technique and bravery. Our right edge defence need to be in his face from the outset. IIRC his first carry in the Odsal game he went straight through Ferguson like he wasn't there > try.

I'm hoping that now the players know what the task is then so there's only one point of focus.

It all hangs on the Bradford mindset and what happens at Belle Vue on Friday, Assuming London squeak 1 or 2 points at Belle Vue and Salford do not blow the Bulls away in the first 20 then Iestyn Harris coaching skills could act as the cattle prod for a Bulls win.

If London are tonked and Salford start off well though could be a long afternoon for the Bulls at Barton.

Salfoird are becoming the worst team money can buy so a committed Bulls team could end up making the good Doctor see red and Iestyn getting the bus back to Shudehill. Well you would not order a Taxi with the traffic at Barton and on the Liverpool Road now would you...

Red Rooster,

It appears as though your years following London has finally affected you.

Your post is well below your usual,exemplary,standard.

Iestyn Harris did coach a Salford side to victory at Odsal in April.

Where you write ' are becoming ' this is now the past tense.

This will be a comprehensive home victory for Salford.

The RFL plant to try and help Bradford avoid relegation left the club in April.

He didn't use a bus or a taxi.
